«L'estrany» is the existentialist novel by Albert Camus, published by El Observador in paperback (233 pages).
Set in Algeria, it follows Meursault, an apathetic man who attends his mother's funeral without showing the expected grief and ends up committing a crime. At the trial, his indifference matters more than the facts. Camus explores the absurd, alienation, and the weight of social conventions.
The translation is by Joan Fuster; the French original, «L'Étranger», was published in 1942. It is volume 15 of the Clàssics de la Literatura Universal collection.
For readers interested in twentieth-century French literature and existentialism; also common reading in school settings.
